§ MR. HEDDERWICKI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Porte has yet complied with the demand of the Government for the restitution of the £500, the property of the British Armenian Relief Committee, which was stolen from Yussuf Yunnan, when he was murdered fifteen months ago, and for compensation to the family of the above-named Yussuf Yunnan?
MR. CURZONNo reply has as yet been returned by the Porte to the application made, by Her Majesty's Ambassador for the restitution of the money stolen from Yussuf Yunnan.
§ MR. HEDDERWICKI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the Blue Book (Turkey, No. 2), just published, contains no correspondence, as promised, relating to the murder of Yussuf Yunnan and the punishment of his murderers; and whether the latter have yet been punished?
MR. CURZONThe Blue Book (Turkey No. 2) relates, as its title indicates, solely to the negotiations for the conclusion of peace between Greece and Turkey. Papers with regard to the murder of Yussuf Yunnan will appear in a Blue Book containing correspondence on the affairs of Asiatic Turkey, which is now being prepared. The persons accused of the murder were condemned to death, but the sentence has been referred to the Court of Cassation for examination.
